Clinton Twp. man accused of lewd act in view of child

A Hunterdon County man has been charged with lewdness after he was spotted this summer masturbating inside the screened porch of his Clinton Township home by a young neighbor and the child's father authorities said today.

Michael Gaykowski, a 48-year-old electrical contractor, was charged Wednesday after he was accused of committing the lewd act in July, according to the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office.

Police said they received reports of the lewdness happening several times.

After investigating with the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Sex Crimes Unit, police said they went to arrest Gaykowski at his home. He was released on his own recognizance, police said.
